Despite the several news reports on how Ghanaian
hip-life musician, Castro, supposedly drowned in
the Volta Lake last Sunday, rapper Okra Tom
Dawidi says until the body is recovered, he does
not believe Castro is dead.
Castro went missing on Sunday July 6, 2014, while
jet skiing on the Volta Lake at Ada where he was
holidaying with Black Stars' Captain, Asamoah
Gyan and some other friends.
Reports say Castro drowned while trying to save
Janet Bandu, an acquaintance he met on the trip.
Most people have already concluded that both
Castro – born Theophilus Tagoe – and Janet are
dead.
But Okra Tom who has worked with the 'Bone
Shaker' hit maker on various projects, told NEWS-
ONE that he considers Castro missing until
authorities are able to recover his body.
"I don't know why, but I feel Castro is still alive
and until I see his corpse, I believe he is alive. For
now, I only know he is only missing," he stated.
Okra recounted that he met Castro in 2003 at the
Hush Hush studios at the early stages of their
musical career.
"Castro is a very funny guy. He likes to create jokes
anytime we are in the studio, and he is a lovely and
calm guy. Ultimately, he respects everybody
because he has hassled through music before
getting where is now. I have known Castro since
2003, and it was music that brought us together.
We met at Hush Hush Studios," he added.
"I believe in spirituality and I believe this world is
very deep. There are so many things living with
human beings on earth that are beyond us. But I
can't single out the girl because I don't really know
her. I believe she has got friends, family and she
was also living a normal life. So with the marine
spirit thing, I can't really say anything about it," he
said.
